Gov. Pete Ricketts on Monday honored 17 Nebraska seniors who got perfect scores on the ACT or SAT college preparatory exams.
A perfect score on the ACT is 36 -- something less than one-tenth of one percent of students achieve. Nebraska’s average score for the class of 2016 was 21.4, significantly higher than the national average of 20.8.
The following Lincoln students were honored for their perfect ACT scores: Keenan Allen of Lincoln East; Austin Gronewold of Lincoln Northeast; Amanda Rowley and Natalie Schieuer of Lincoln Piux X; and Abram Turner of Lincoln Southeast.
Other students who got perfect ACT scores: Anthony Benes of Elkhorn; Daniel Thibodeau and Matthew Gromowksy of Omaha Skutt; Nathan Stieren of Elkhorn South; Joshua Militti and Preston Noll of Omaha Westside; Samantha Seaman of Bellevue East; Benjamin Rhodes of Gretna; Marta Pulfer of Wayne; Walt Mays of Chadron; and Connor McFayden of Platteview.
